Full Body Marinade: Yin Yoga
Have your props, blankets and bolsters ready - you’re in for a treat! You’re about to plunge into a full body bliss bath, a deep soak in sensation and melody. Lara will guide you through a series of yin postures - held for up to five minutes - designed to flood the body with sensation, myriad textures, flavours, visions and temperatures.
And once again, Benny Holloway’s ethereal voice and guitar melodies, improvised and spontaneous, accompany Lara’s lyrical instruction and respond to the flow and energetic feel of the sequence – all recorded live in the studio, just for us.

Juicy Hips
This standing sequence homes in on the pelvis, the gateway between upper and lower halves of the body and the holder of SO much tension.
You’ll move through a series of warrior poses, limbering up connective tissue and strengthening supporting muscle groups, so the rivers of communication can flow more freely between the upper and lower halves of your intuitive body.
Many yoga practitioners find hip work to not just be physically challenging but also emotionally undamming. Please take care with any sensitive knees and souls.
To accompany, a selection of Philip Glass etudes. His compositions are full of pathos, and the piano-playing, beautifully precise. Let it anchor you in the present, and carry you through the challenging moments.
Music
Etude No. 5, Philip Glass (9:07)
Etude No. 4, Philip Glass (8:21)
Etude No. 2, Philip Glass (7:26)
Performer: Sally Whitwell

Spectacular!
I love this podcast. I have been practicing yoga for close to 20 years, but always had the ability to take at least a class a week at a local studio. I moved to a new city and job a couple of years ago, and just haven't been able to regularly attend yoga classes and wasn't very successful at practicing completely on my own. Then I found Classic Flow and fell in love. Not only are the sequences clear and easy to follow, but the variations allow me to target the areas that need the most work any time. And the wonderful music adds a new dimension to my practice--focus and positive energy that carries me through the day. Thank you!

Love this 💛 a good friend for a frequent traveller and or one with a busy mind. Thank you Lara and ABC.
love this
Love Lara's smooth calming voice and awesome accent. She gives lots of great cues. Not crazy about the music sometimes- it can be a bit deep and dark. I like the classical music, maybe just a little lighter. I have already marked a few practices as favorites. I am glad to finally find a yoga podcast that suits me. Looking forward to more! Thanks!!
